In April, the TCU Sports Networking Club took a trip to Chicago to learn from some of the Windy City’s sports institutions and gain contacts for future employment. On the four-day excursion, the Horned Frog students met with representatives from Gatorade, the Big Ten Network, Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox, U.S. Soccer Confederation and Ritz Carlton Chicago. 

“The objective of this trip was for our members to gain knowledge about their perspective majors in the sports world and for them to gain contacts for the future if they were to pursue a career in sports,” wrote Hunter Segesta, president of the club. “These key interactions will go a long way in finding out if the sports world is the way they want to go in their careers and what areas would best suit them.”

The visit to the City of Broad Shoulders is the first for the club, but Segesta hopes it is the start of multiple out-of-state networking opportunities. 

“It was an incredible experience and everyone left with a lot of new knowledge and great contacts for the future,” he shared.
